General

Is there a limit to the length of time a cell phone can remain listed in the marketplace?

A phone can only be listed on our website for 3 months after we approve the listing.  If you are not getting a response to your inquires the person selling the phone may have already sold that phone, but forgot to take the phone off our listing page.  However, if you are inquiring about a certain phone (or 3-4) and no one is responding to you, please let us know which phones and each seller’s name and e-mail address.  Thanks!...
